    The show lead already said that Terminus will be just one location of four for next season.

    LOL, in that Arsenio video, Arsenio said that Warrior had too much coffee, and Warrior replies he was on more than coffee.

    RIP Ultimate Warrior

    So, I've watched that promo multiple times to make sense of it. In a nutshell, Warrior is telling Hogan to resort to terrorism and crash the plane, since he can't withstand the power of the Ultimate Warrior. Awesome.

    RIP Ultimate Warrior

    I'm sitting here watching his old promos, and none of them make sense any more. Maybe they did when we were kids, but not now. Imagine how fucked up you used to be that these promos made any sense, or that there were millions of kids that felt the same.

    the greatest streak in sports history has come to an end

    Heyman's promo after the Undertaker was one of the best I've ever heard. All he said was nanny nanny boo boo, and we were on the edge of our seats. We all booed him. An hour later, we were cheering him with Cesaro. What a pro.

    the greatest streak in sports history has come to an end

    Actually, I went to go grab a snack. I told myself there was no reason to watch it, since Undertaker was going to go undefeated for 22 years. I was more worried about the Daniel Bryan match.

    the greatest streak in sports history has come to an end

    No one watching wrestling is happy about that. During WM 30, there was dead silence for like ten minutes afterwards.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    It's nice, but I've got to reign in expenses now. When I did my planning last year, it was to make it so we didn't make money, or lose money in Q1. Typically, Q1 is a huge loss, but Q2, 3 and most of 4 are profitable. If you don't watch it, it might take you until July to turn a profit for...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Jeez, Q1 sales are up 80% from last year. We are at max capacity in our slowest quarter. We also broke even in Q1, something we only did once before (and that was from emergency jobs). Advertising is at a whopping 25% of sales, and needs to be adjusted downwards as we start moving to our peak...

    What is your initial outlay for the shop? How many months until you project a break even? How many employees needed? Are you getting financing?

    It sounds as if you have a good plan in place. Here's a protip: if you are filling a niche, you don't have to be so competitive in price. Charge more than you think you should. In some cases, where we are doing large jobs that none of our competitors have the insurance or equipment to...

    The biggest issue any company has is one of getting the word out. Everything else is just detail work. How do you plan on gaining customers? I knew this when I went into business, but six years into it, I really have learned some lessons. When your marketing is great, all-else-being-equal...

    We all see he can contribute to the team. But now he's thinking he's going to be made Assistant Manager. In the previous times when I had a Manager and Assistant Manager, they all had at least ten years' experience. This guy has one year's experience, at the most. He's expecting me to hand...

    He's starting to expect a management position, but his technical and organizational skills are not where they need to be. He's still working on his certs. He's fitting in better with the guys, they listen to him when he's on the job. He's still my project.

    There's no way I could have forecasted the amount of snow, it was a record amount in this state since they recorded it. Also, in six years, it was the first time we had to rebuild an engine (it was 15k). I'm happy with this last Winter, but we can do better next year. At 20k in advertising...

    If anyone cares: 2009 Winter Loss: Gain of about 80k (State was declared a natural disaster, we did emergency work from January until April). We spent about $300 a month in advertising. 2010: Winter Loss of about 100K (we spent about $300 a month in advertising). 2011: Winter Loss...

    Update, we made it to Spring market (it feels like Spring anyway), and we only lost about 20k over the Winter. Half of that was from a catastrophic failure in one on the truck engines. We lost about 20k due to lost days (where we couldn't get on the road). Factor out the catastrophic failure...

    One detail I'm missing, did they ever explain why McConaughey's character kept showing up in pictures in murder scenes, after they occurred?

    Jump clipping is going away, it's on the boards. They are concerned about the extra hit you get (called the "invisible triangle" move). If you use rifles, you get a free and instantaneous grenade in some of your combos (which can hit for pretty decent damage). I'm pretty sure that is usually...

    I've been grouping in way too many PUG's at t4 and t5, where the people were unable to clip. We had a guy in our league (who we never kicked out, I guess we were soft) that had great gear as a DPS, yet was always beaten by the tank, because he didn't know how to clip. I'm OK with them making...

    There is nothing the matter with clipping, and it separates the good players from the bad ones. I'm not liking the change. All of my toons are DPS toons, and clip like crazy. Getting rid of jump clipping sucks, and it's going to neuter HL and Gadgets dps. One reason why those classes do so...

    Any problems with this show are outweighed by Spacey and Wright's magnetic performances. For s1 and s2, these are the only shows I couldn't put down until ep 13. We just watched them non-stop here.

    Everyone says that Accounting and Finance are easy, but look at the business failure rate and tell me they are. If you can run a business for ten years, you've done something that 95% of businesses can't. I've heard it all, in undergrad, I lived in the Honors dorm, and many of the guys that...

    How much innovation do you see in alternative systems? I've attached two images, one of the Ambassador (from India), and the other of a Mercedes. There was a point in time when the two were considered direct competitors, but the Ambassador made little progress. Why should there be innovation...

    Your arguments are childish. I can sit here and read Sebudai or Dumar's arguments, and have some sort of respect for them (misguided as they are). But all of your arguments engage in reductio ad absurdum, please try harder to make a compelling point.

    Do you think when I was in the school of liberal arts, that we just discussed capitalism? No, it was all systems, and how we could merge systems and move to Utopia. I'm a realist in that there's not going to be a Utopia, until we all have replicators from Star Trek, and there is no scarcity of...
